We strive to provide a fair and objective eligibility process resulting in the best level of service for you.

Wheel-Trans eligibility application (Word Document)

The Word document must be downloaded prior to completing the form. This accessible document has been created using Microsoft Word 2010. There may be compatibility issues with using earlier versions of Word (including but not limited to impacts on alternative text for data tables, text and number formatting, and content controls). To avoid this, we recommend updating to the latest version of Word, or contacting us to request an alternative accessible format.

If you have not attended a functional assessment, we will call you to schedule an appointment.

If the results of the functional assessment supports your appeal request, then there are no further steps for you to take, your eligibility will be updated on our system.

If the functional assessment supports the original eligibility decision made by TTC staff, and you still believe that it does not accurately capture your ability, we will set up an appointment for you to meet with the Wheel-Trans Eligibility Appeals Panel.

The appeals panel is made up of three (3) individuals, an occupational therapist, a transit expert, and a member of the community that has a disability. The panel will review all of your documentation, ask you specific questions and give you the opportunity to explain to them why you feel the original decision did not accurately capture your ability to use conventional TTC service. The panel will then make a decision that will support your position, uphold the original eligibility decision, or change your eligibility giving more or less access to Wheel-Trans. The decision of the appeals panel is final.
